What could be a good scenario for this photo of a destroyed Nuclear Reactor?

Maybe keep it in Ukraine, and example of the nuclear power boom propogated by Germany, who funded reactor ventures in members of Mitteleuropa, but left the running of the actual reactor to the local governments. After austerity cuts forced upon Ukraine by the Mitteleuropan Bank, they cut the safety legislation for such reactors, and one effect was the explosion of the Chernobyl plant.
What could be a good scenario for this photo of a destroyed Nuclear Reactor?
Btw it is of the Chernobyl Nuclear Reactor of OTL.
In the 1960s, the German Imperial Commission on Atomic Energy was formed, which led to the construction of several Nuclear Power Stations, including one near Chernobyl along the River Pripyat. By 1986, the Station had 4 active reactors plus two more under construction. It's official name was the Symon Petliura Memorial Nuclear Power Plant, the nearby city of Pripyat had 49,000 residents, which many were ethnic Germans. Though the construction was encouraged and sponsored by Germany, the Power Station was left to be managed by the Ukrainian Ministry of Nuclear Energy. Indeed, the Future of Nuclear Power looked very bright. However, due to economic problems that faced Ukraine in the early 1980s, the MAE had cut safety regulations on their nuclear power stations, which cut costs in operating them, but however, it would have disastrous consequences.
On the early morning hours of April 26th, 1986, during a test, a Power Surge from CNPP's Reactor Number 4 occurred, which the engineers tried to stop the surge. But at 1:23 AM, Reactor #4 had exploded, which released a large dose radiation of radiation in the surrounding areas. The officials at first thought that there was a fire in the reactor hall, in which they sent in firefighters to try and deal with the situation, which unfortunately would lead to the deaths of many of the firefighters due to Radiation Poisoning. The following morning, the Ukrainian Government ordered the evacuation of the nearby towns, cities, and villages within 50 miles of the Power Station, notably Chernobyl and Pripyat. The Ukrainian Military sent in several helicopters and some engineering units to try to prevent the spreading of the fire in the ruins of Reactor 4, which Ukrainian Helicopters would dump clay, sand, and water from the nearby Pripyat River in the remains of the reactor. At the same time, some Ukrainian motorized rifle and military police units had set up a Cordon around the effected areas. In addition, a couple of engineer units from the Imperial German Army came to the CNPP to construct a Sarcophagus around the destroyed reactor hall. By November of 1986, the Sarcophagus was finished, but not before hundreds of Ukrainian, German, Polish, and Belorussian workers and soldiers came down with radiation sickness, which over the many years, they would die off from.
The radiation from the disaster had spread all across Europe, which contaminated many crops and livestock, especially in the Ukraine, where the Government had to acquire food from the Americas in order to prevent a famine. The disaster also caused a reformation of safety regulations and procedures for Nuclear Power Stations all across the world and in Europe. The most effected areas became known as the Chernobyl Zone of Alienation, which had a profound impact on culture, which the name Chernobyl became synonymous with Nuclear Disaster. The incident had caused many mutations and birth defects in the Ukraine.
The Ukrainian made video game, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl is set in the Zone after a fictional second disaster caused by German Scientists, which created deadly anomalies, dangerous mutants, a thriving black market around items created by anomalies called Artifacts, and people who hunt artifacts called Stalkers. The game became wildly popular in Eastern Europe and in Germany.

Austrian tank crew posing with their Panther. Circa 1945
The Austrian Panther tank has a reputation of being one of the best tanks of the Second Weltkrieg. The Panther's design was inspired by both the German Panzer 4 and Polish M43. The very first models were rushed to the Eastern Front in mid 1943 only half-ready, so were prone to mechanical problems and engine fires. The Panther got better as the war progressed and became a nightmare for Russian tankers. Around 15,000 tanks were built from 1943 to 1952 and were used by many countries all throughout the 20th century.
British Tanks of the Second Weltkrieg
The Economy had been hurt by Mosley's nationalization of industries, so something had to be done to solve that. So thus mass employment was done via re armament of the military. The best of the British tanks however were kept in the mainland, never to be used following Britains surrender from the Atomic bombing of Liverpool and birmingham.
First tank, the Mosley I, was used excessively during the "Island hoping" of the Germans before the Liberation of Scotland.

Harold Wilson, Grand Secretary of the Union of Britain from 1966 until his resignation in 1983.
After the death of Oswald Mosley, an enormous power vacuum emerged. Mosley had never named a successor, and the closest thing to one, Eric Blair, had been exiled to Canada after the purges of the early Fifties. As a result, the Trade Union Congress convened for the first time in thirty years. Despite nearly plunging the Isles into a massive civil war, Wilson and the aging Clement Atlee rose to power on the back of a growing reformist movement, eager to see the dictatorship of Oswald Mosley fade away into history.
In the resulting seventeen years, the British people finally re-entered the global stage, becoming the closest ally to America in Europe. His reforms turned the Union of Britain into a relativity prosperous nation, but whether or not his legacy will be upheld by future leaders is yet to be seen.
Photo taken during the meeting between PSA's president Angelina Jolie and Pope Francis in the Vatican ( 2021)
The meeting was characterised by the fact the Jolie was allowed to meet the Pope togheter with her wife Drew Barrymore, making them the first homosexual couple to be allowed to visit the centre of the cattolic world
The importance of this event was however diminished by the fact that Pope Francis met them only as leader of the Italian federation rather than leader of the catholic church
While the meeting energised the Italian LGBT+ comunity, it also caused numerous protests and dimostrations by the most conservative elements of the church, with many of them arguing that the economic relationship between Italy and California isn't a motivation valid enough to "violate the laws set by the bible"

Im going to say a no to this one,as the guy who kinda ran the catholic and italian side of the updates my offical word is this: the church stayed on pretty much the same course it has OTL theologically.
I changed the last part
Is it ok now or i have to change it again?
Sultan Orhan II ( Çırağan palace 30 December 1930- Moscow 7 July 2008) first and last monarch of the sultanate of Turkey.
Even if Osman IV had already abdicated in his favor in 1961, he was officially crowned on March 15 1966 .
He was a deeply impopular monarch who was seen as a weak and corrupt monarch like his predecessors at best and a puppet of the West at worst.
This impopulatity was caused by his inability to face the problems of Turkey and the fact he had been directly picked by the german government as new sultane rather than follow the line of succession
His reign ended in 1978 with the turkish revolution after he was forced to flee to Berlin and his powers were removed by the new government of the Islamic Repubblic of Turkey
Even after the fall of the regime in 1981 he wasn't allowed to go back to turkey and he ended up living the rest of his days in Russia

Boris Savinkov
(1937 - 1971)
In his early life Boris Savinkov lived a menial existence in Kharkov before enrolling in law school at St Petersburg University, however it was not long before Savinkov was expelled for participating in the 1899 Student Strike. Afterward he would study in places like Berlin and Heidelberg Germany, ironic considering his later actions. From 1898 he was a member of a number of socialist parties before settling into membership of the Socialist Revolutionary Party and would quickly rise to become Deputy Head of its Combat Organizations. After assassinating the Russian Minister of the Interior and aiding in the assassination of Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich he would be arrested in 1908 and sentenced to death for his actions. For many this was the end of their story, but Savinkov was different and refused to die. Instead he escaped his cell in Odessa and fled to France, being named Head of the Combat Organizations when their previous leader was revealed to be a government informant, despite them being to weak to do much of anything after harsh government crackdowns. During the Weltkrieg Savinkov fought as a volunteer for the French Army and it is here in his journals that Savinkov begins to take an overtly anti-German tone, a tone he would hold onto for the rest of his eventful life. After serving dutifully on the Western Front for years Savinkov would make his way back to Russia as it collapsed into chaos in 1917 and attached himself to the Kerensky Government, being named the Deputy Minister of War in Kerensky's first cabinet. While in Russia Savinkov planned on creating a so called "Revolutionary Dictatorship" with power centralized under him, Admiral Lavr Kornilov and President Alexander Kerensky. The plot eventually failed however when Kornilov executed the putsch to early and Savinkov was arrested for his involvement in its planning while also being expelled from the Social Revolutionaries. Savinkov would once again escape the death penalty however by jumping from a fourth floor window and dashing to freedom, fleeing to Finland and exile.
When the Bolsheviks seized power and Russia descended into its bloody civil war Savinkov offered to help the Whites if they gave Admiral Kornilov a position in government and amnesty both demands which President Kerensky denied. In the end however it did not matter as Savinkov returned to Russia anyway and landed in the city of Tsaritsyn, on the Volga River. There he would form The Society for the Defense of the Motherland and Freedom and execute a major guerrilla campaign against the Soviets leading to massive uprisings against them in July, 1918 in the cities of Yaroslavl, Rybinsk and Murom. With the war turning against them on all fronts these uprisings were not immediately crushed by the Soviets and allowed to fester like a pin in their side and gave the Central Russian SR's more sway in the Omsk Conference that united the White Forces. When Admiral Kolchak tried to take over Russia Savinkov not only got him to disband the coup but also got the Admiral to announce his support for the government formed in the Conference. He continued his anti-Red guerrilla war until White forces officially liberated the area he acted in in early 1920. Then he fought on the front lines until finally peace was declared in the Congress of Minsk in 1921. With Russia saved from the Reds, Savinkov then began to work to save Russia from itself.
In late 1925 Savinkov formed the National Republican Party (NRPR). Its major platform stood with a fervent adherence to capitalistic doctrine to revitalize the then already sagging Russian economy and the reclamation of the Lost Lands in the West and East in a new political philosophy Savinkov called "National-Populism". In speeches Savinkov denounced the states carved out of Russia in the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk and Japan's puppet government under Alexander Kolchak in the East calling them all "The Lost Russians" who needed to return to Mother Russia if the nation was to reclaim its glory. For a long time the NRPR was a fringe party on the edges of the Russian political landscape until Russia's economy suddenly and seemingly unexpectedly failed in 1932. With unemployment beginning to skyrocket and the Army running on "I.O.U's" from the Keresnky government the NRPR became the unofficial official party of the military as many officers flocked to its banner, seduced by its militaristic rhetoric. Kerensky however was not blind to the growing party and saw its growth as a threat to his ruling coalition. To negate Savinkov claiming that he was giving to much to the increasingly syndicalist Social Revolutionaries, he began to give right-moderates positions in the then-powerless Senate and then let the Senate have the ultimate veto as a way to have his party stay in power even after he was gone. This however backfired horribly when Kerensky was forced to announce widely unpopular policies before the election and while his coalition teetered on the brink of collapse the NRPR netted a fourth of the electorate sending 42 people to the next Senate.

However, in 1936 Russia was struck a massive blow when, as he left the Senate President Keresnky was shot and killed by Bolshevik agitator[1] Nepkor Berzinsky with a weapon supplied to him by the French Commune[2]. Kerensky's sudden death threw Russia into chaos as his Vice President Pavel Milyukov tried to establish his own control over the country while the Senate and the Duma both supported separate candidates from both Milyukov and each other to come after Kerensky. In the end, possibly edged on by Savinkov, Lavr Kornilov launched another putsch and was much more successful. Backed by NRPR-aligned officers and soldiers Kornilov quickly seized major cities across Russia on the night of August 21st, 1936 only two weeks after Kerensky's assassination. The Duma, which was still led by the Center Coalition tried to resist Kornilov and his brazen attempt at power by uniting behind Grand Duke Dimitri Romanov to return as the new President; but ultimately public opinion sided with Kornilov and the Senate's invitation went unheeded so they allowed Kornilov to secure power. With Savinkov as his second in command Kornilov ruled Russia largely as lightly as possible with the real power obviously lying in Savinkov's hands. Soon after power was secured by the military Savinkov issued Executive Decree No. 5 which reformed the Okhrana, the feared Tsarist Secret Police. However while the Tsarist Okhrana was directed against the people, Savinkov’s Okhrana was directed against the Syndicalists and other ‘enemies of the state’. Former and current Bolshevik leaders were arrested and usually executed, Savinkov’s numerous enemies were also purged and all the while the people cheered Savinkov as he walked the streets of Moscow and St Petersburg. The Neu Bolshevik Bloc, the official continuation of the Bolshevik cause spearheaded by Lenin, was effectively destroyed as a political force.
With his power secured Savinkov then turned to the military who continued to be the backbone of his power. The Army was bloated and inefficient without a uniting doctrine to work towards. Savinkov heard the various arguments but ultimately allowed Field Marshal Denikin, hero of the Civil War, to institute his School of Mass Combat. However Savinkov made a bit of a modification to the doctrine by forcing the adoption of the KS series of heavy tanks. These rolling behemoths were built to be little more than mobile fortresses whose sole goal was to unroot any trouble spots hit by the infantry. The infantry were allowed to charge ahead unheeded by the KS tanks, who were usually enough to break any strong resistance if they had enough time to get to the front. The first of these, the KS-1[3] was a behemoth of a tank. It operated the beast like a lumbering giant, something Savinkov found more than fitting for his new Russia.
As the new Army doctrine was more and more implanted into the Army the moment Savinkov and his cronies had been waiting for since they took power finally arrived. On October 2nd, 1937 In his dacha outside Moscow The Grand Admiral died[4]. Savinkov moved quickly and through decisive action and arresting all those in the Duma not a member of the NRPR Savinkov was able to fuse the offices of President and Vice President into the singular office of Vozhd. Not the single and unchallenged ruler of Russia Savinkov rewrote the Constitution to consolidate all meaningful power under the office of Vozhd and writing Executive Order No 1, ordering the Okhrana to persecute all non Savinkovist parties. Something the Okhrana did vigorously. Meanwhile Savinkov gave a speech in Moscow declaring the foundation of the new Russian State whose goal was to unite all Russian people's under Moscow once more. His speech was tinged with anti-German rhetoric and anti-Syndicalist slurs. It was met with revulsion in Berlin, London and Paris while across Russia and the Russian minorities in the German and Japanese satrapies cheers could be heard. Finally the savior of the beaten and downtrodden Russian nation had arrived.

Flag of the Russian State
Savinkov turned his attention first to Caucasia and the nations within. The host to vast mineral wealth their independence prevented the Russian Army from gaining access to much needed materials. Savinkov launched an international propaganda campaign against the nations of the region calling them abortions of justice and little more than the puppets carved out by Germany in the West. He sent undercover Okhrana agents into the countries to rile up the Russian minorities against their governments. This worked well as soon from the Don Kuban Union to Georgia and Azerbaijan pro-Russian riots rocked cities to their cores and the various governments of Caucasia struggled to respond. With the State Defense Force (Russian Army) mobilizing on their border and their country tearing itself apart the Don Kuban Union and Azerbaijan took the initiative and appealed directly to the Kaiser in July of 1937 to save them. The Kaiser, distracted with a war between Albert I’s government and Belgian Communists in the Low Country, sent a declaration demanding Savinkov respect the treaty signed at Brest-Litovsk. Savinkov, when an associate put the declaration on his desk, is said to have crumpled it up into a ball and threw it away without even reading it. After a week of no response and with the SDF almost finished in its mobilization, Kaiser Wilhelm cut all ties between the Reichspakt and the Russian State. Since most German and German aligned national owned businesses were seized in the early days of Savinkov’s reign this had little effect on the Russian economy which was exploding due to Felix Yusupov Grand Russian Industries. However when pressed to go further the Kaiser told his ministers that he would not go to war with Russia over ‘some damned goat herders’ so Savinkov made his final move.
Business leaders in the Don Kuban Union demanded Russia ‘secure the nation’ on September 5th 1937, Azerbaijan's government was bought out by Russian oil interests and the nation was integrated on September 17th that same year. Georgia suffered a massive popular uprising when Security Minister Ioseb Dungzivhili tried to seize power from Chairman Beria and Russian troops invaded the nation to ‘restore order’ on the 28th of September. In one dynamic month Savinkov had swept through Caucasia and shattered the status quo. Soon afterword however Savinkov received a letter from the Alash Orda, a splinter nation that broke away during the Civil War, to save them from invasion by the Turkestan Khanate and in return Orda agreed to be reintegrated into the Russian State. Savinkov accepted and declared war on Turkestan without hesitation, despite his army officer’s warnings. His SDF had to be redeployed from the southern Caucasia to Central Asia, a move that would take at least a few months if not more. In this time Turkestan was able to snatch up the rest of former Alash territory and even pushed into Russian territory itself. This enraged Savinkov who sacked Field Marshal Pytor Wrangel before quickly reinstating him when his rage passed[5]. Nevertheless in late November the advance units of the SDF reached the front. At first the battles were confused skirmishes when two units bumped into one another. However as December came and reached its zenith the Turkish advance slowed to a stop and the SDF was able to regroup and establish a solid front.

Russian troops do battle near Tiblisi
In late January, 1938 Pytor Wrangel launched the First Offensive against the Turkish positions. With their heavy tanks and veteran infantry seasoned in the mountains of Caucasia the Russian troops swept through the Turkish lines like a hot knife through butter. In just three weeks of battle the entire Turkish army was in a desperate retreat South. Wrangel followed closely behind, nipping at them whenever they slowed and quickly retaking most of the lost land. However as Russian troops crossed in the Khanate resistance solidified quickly in the mountains of Central Asia. Its said that the venerable KS tanks spent more time bombarding Turkish mountain positions than on the move. Despite that however the line did move, albeit slowly, southward. Savinkov moved to a temporary HQ in Tashkent to more closely overview the war effort and found himself more than pleased with Wrangel’s work. However while in Tashkent Savinkov issued Executive Order No 2 that ordered the creation of the All-Russian Spiritual Administration to rule the majority Muslim populace with the stated goal to convert them from their ‘barbarity’ and bring them back to civilization. This would result in the Central Asian Liquidation that, according to defectors, killed nearly 100,000 Muslims that refused to convert.
In the meantime the SDF continued its methodical push towards the Khanate’s heart, the Fergana Valley. Wrangel and Savnikov hoped that by seizing this critical area they could threaten the Khanate’s temporary capital of Dushanbe. The fight for the valley however was a bloodbath that stained Savinkov’s reputation. Nearly 30,000 Russian troops were killed as they charged into the valley and were mowed down by Turkish troops in various traps set up around the area. The Turkish however only received a relatively paltry 4,000 casualties and were able to regroup when the Valley was finally cleared. On the eve of yet another offensive Mohammed Alim Khan, ruler of Turkestan, was found on a donkey walking towards Russian lines. He was tied up, abused and gagged, along with him was a message declaring the Khanate’s surrender[6]. With that Savinkov had swept through two vital regions of Russia, securing his southern flank for the time being. It was this point the SDF was split into the SDF East and SDF West. The SDF West under Field Marshal Gregory Zhukov was sent to prepare an offensive to reclaim the Trans-Siberian Railroad from the Mongolians who claimed vital portions of it. The SDF East under Wrangel set up defenses on the border of the Reikspakt and Russian territory and to draw up plans for a Grand Offensive to reclaim the lost lands and punish Germany.

I think it worked as it originally was - even if the Church stayed on a certain course, she's the head of a majorly powerful country, exceptions would likely be made in the interests of diplomacy
Also, just in future PEW - not giving you a hard time, but maybe ping me before agreeing on canon - setting creator here, after all

Concept art for the Boeing-Mitsubishi 'Fujin' fighter. A joint project by the PSA and Japan, the VTOL Fujin is planned as the replacement for both nations' carrier fighters. Japanese carrier pilots are delighted at the prospect of a replacement for the advanced but temperamental Tancho fighter.
Boeing 'Hidalgo' fighters on the deck of HTMS Chakri Naruebet. The Hidalgo was developed in the 1980s by the Pacific States of America as VTOL aircraft that the navy could operate from their amphibious assault ships, in the event further carrier air was needed to reinforce the navy's supercarrier. The Imperial Japanese Navy had manufactured a licensed variant for their light carriers, but replaced it with the Tancho.
Despite being on the slow and ageing side, the Royal Thai Navy has continued to operate and upgrade their Hidalgos in preference to the Tancho, though plan to replace them by 2020.

Fair. The diplomatic solution would probably be they meet, and the Federation just doesn't comment one way or the other. Just says 'The Pope met the President and had a productive dialogue' and say nothing about recognising or not recognising
And no worries. Just for future reference

Considering that this timeline is yours, i will ask your opinion immediately next time and i will make sure to not contradict any part of it
President Earl Warren and
theg*ddam*hoi2fan , i think i am going to change the post about Pope Francis and Jolie again.
This time the Pope met both women as head of state rather than religious figure but he has to face opposition from the most conservative elements of the church
Is it ok ?
Also in the next posts i would like to describe some politicians of the italian federation like Salvini and Berlusconi
Is it a problem or it is ok?
